Ever wonder what it looks like eight feet under the water you’re fishing? Now you can see what the best fly you ever tied got hung up on.

It’s getting a bit difficult to keep the focus on Texas fly fisher’s water woes, when it seems like no one else is doing it. Not that they’re not, but I don’t see it, don’t hear about it, and certainly haven’t seen any Texas fishing or fly fishing organization pick up the baton and run with this story cause. And believe me, I’ve been looking and watching for a while now.

What’s that saying? “Fiddling while Paris burns.” I’m afraid that’s what diving down this rabbit hole amounts to … fiddling. A single person can’t do all that’s needed to watchdog the powers at the State level who are running full throttle and unchecked.

I imagine that everyone cares about this issue problem, but maybe I am just imagining things again. Let’s make one more run around the horn, and see what people and the powers are saying elsewhere.

If we take another look at the Texas Water Development Board website, in this the month of our God February, in the year 2014, we find that the .pdf file showing the Board’s organization is still out of date. A 2012 .pdf link is also there, titled “… 2012 State Water Plan.” If you think Texas government functions any better than the federal government, you must be smoking something. Maybe YOU can view the video clips of meetings at http://www.texasadmin.com/agenda.php?confid=TWDB_WS011314&dir=twdb, but I certainly can’t. And isn’t that what government is all about; making things so difficult we don’t even bother to try?

If you take a look at Save Texas Water, sites like this definitely lead to more information and more interweb digging. It seems like every crisis breeds boards and committees doesn’t it? If they (boards and committees) were the solution, there wouldn’t be a problem. For whatever reason, the .org status or whatever, many of these sites are plastered with old informational links.

If you have any pertinent links, be sure to share them in the comments. You do not have to register or give me any personal information to comment (at least I don’t get any), so feel free to sound off.

My wife is associated with AWBD as she’s on the MUD board for our neighborhood. It’s an interesting situation. I guess in Houston and SE Texas it’s not the same issue because of our coastal proximity we won’t experience the same degree of drought but there are likely changes coming for developers.
